Somebody said these cannot be done (on a Chat-Line, and maybe anywhere) with our present software.

Channeling? I don't think so.

Then I got three responses:

1. [[ I was wondering how they were doing that...i noticed a lot of the new emoticons from the upgraded iphone software but a lot of them were not from there...guessed it was a lot of very fast "cutting and pasting". ]] - Suzana

2. [[ Bob,

These symbols are sort of hidden keyboard symbols, but they can be
copy and pasted. See this link - http://goo.gl/3UIIT

What I did find interesting was how there were four (4) "iONs" logged
in simultaneously, all interacting as rapidly as the conversation was
flowing.

They were: iON.134, iON.175, iON.122 and iON.253

I didn't scrutinize the entire chat, so there could have been
more.

This, in and of itself, if they were all iON, would be an even greater feat,
because they would have had to sign in, very likely, from four different
IP addresses, or have four different instances of the chat board
running simultaneously, and would have to jump between all of them,
all while keeping up with, and responding to, the flow of the exchange. - Bart ]]

3. [[ I found a way to do this by coding the emojis into the chat window. iON makes it look really easy by how fast he posts his designs! - Kevin ]]
